Reference Pricing for Pharmaceuticals
In 1989, the first reference prices have been defined by authorities in Germany. They become relevant for pharmaceutical manufacturers upon expiry of market exclusivity at the latest, sometimes even earlier when “Jumbo Groups” are formed together with patent-protected and patent-free products. With AMNOG it is even possible to integrate pharmaceuticals directly into reference price groups.
Reference pricing follows well defined rules. Hence, it is possible to calculate reference prices in advance, to double check decisions by reimbursement authorities, and to develop your own reimbursement strategy involving reference pricing.
